Alot of these generator setups need 2 regulators, so usually the regular
one stays at the tank, size the pipe for the flow rate ( just like wire
and amps....;-) .) and put the 2nd regulator right at the generator.

Ditto Tom, seen this too often in Mexico. I carry a manometer to make
check the pressure at the _LP input to the generator with the engine
running_. Make sure it is at/above 11" WC when it starts to act up. If
the regulator is at the tank, long vapor runs can cause too much
pressure loss.

Hi Guys
We have had "icing" problems here in Central America as well where the
gas company put in ½' pipe to a 12K Gillette Generator, same
description the gen would initially start and run fine but then it
went erratic the Radian didn't like it, the customer wanted to blame
the Radian (I was sure it wasn't)
The installer/dealer couldn't figure it out. I went out and
immediately saw the small pipe, plus they had bent a crimp into the
incoming fuel line as well. ¾" line fixed the whole thing. LP has a
lot of moisture and will always have delivery problems with funky
installation of pipe. Seems that a lot of gas guys just hook up
kitchen ranges (Here)
Kind regards
